Organizations Who Win, Think Deeply, Choose Wisely, And Act Decisively.

I'm Very Lucky That I Have This Other Career That Runs Alongside My Comic Career, Which Is A Film Career, And I've Been Given This Really Lovely Setup Where They Seem To Make The Movies Very Quickly As Well.

I've Been Doing The Millarworld Stuff For Decades, And Everybody Seems Really Happy That's Working On It.

The Success [of The X-men], I Think, Is For Two Reasons. The First Is That, Creatively, The Book Was Close To Perfect ... But The Other Reason Is That It Was A Book About Being Different In A Culture Where, For The First Time In The West, Being Different Wasn't Just Accepted, But Was Also Fashionable. I Don't Think It's A Coincidence That Gay Rights, Black Rights, The Empowerment Of Women And Political Correctness All Happened Over Those Twenty Years And A Book About Outsiders Trying To Be Accepted Was Almost The Poster-boy For This Era In American Culture.

The Lovely Thing Is, If Marvel Had A Spider-man Movie Over At Sony Or Something, They Own The Rights To The Character, And The Editors And Producers Make Suggestions And Get Notes And Things. But You're Talking About Matthew Vaughn And Jane Goldman. They're Two Of The Best People In The World. The Notes Are Just Things Like, "this Is Absolutely Brilliant."
